President Bush has acted swiftly to replace Chief Justice Rehnquist, who died late Saturday. The President announced this morning that he would nominate Judge John Roberts to the position of Chief Justice of the United States and nominate someone else for the position now held by Sandra Day O'Connor, for which Judge Roberts was initially nominated.

I certainly hope the President is confident as to how a Chief Justice Roberts will act jurisprudentially. Chief Justice Warren (brrrr!!!!) comes to mind...
